If every film in "By Brakhage: An Anthology" is added (vol I + vol 2), it would comprise 60 total titles. When added to the "Three Colors" & "Apu" trilogies, this list would end up resulting in 163 titles (97 + 60 + 3 + 3 = 163)

Can someone say why this lists most, but not all of the films in the By Brakhage set? DOG STAR MAN, CAT’S CRADLE, I . . . DREAMING, and COMMINGLED CONTAINERS aren't here. Actually, reading the posts before me it would seem those are the missing numbers.
